bug#26011: 26.0.50; tramp should respect large-file-warning-threshold

If from dired you attempt to copy a file to a tramp ssh dired (I have
dired-dwim-target set to t) and that file is very large, emacs will pause
for some time and eventually stop with:

tramp-file-name-handler: Memory exhausted--use C-x s then exit and
restart Emacs

If tramp is going to open the file and it is large I think it should
warn the user (respecting large-file-warning-threshold?) rather than
going ahead without confirmation and erroring with an alarming message!
